The answer

There is no objection to a woman attending a Tajwid examination in front of three male Sheikhs, provided that her speech is limited to what is necessary and without being overly soft. However, it is preferable for the examination to be conducted by women or in the presence of her . If this is not possible, then there is no objection. This permissibility is based on two points:

First, there is no objection to a woman being in the presence of a group of men when suspicion is absent, as mentioned in the of Asma bint Umays. Solitude is permissible with the presence of a third person or more when there is no fear of fitna.

Second, the voice of a woman is not considered awrah (nakedness) according to the correct opinion. It is permissible to listen to it when there is no fear of fitna, as long as it does not involve undue softness or submissiveness in speech.
